Kids to Space: A Space Traveler’s Guide $29.95 Kids to Space: A Space Traveler’s Guide In the interest of getting kids interested in science, math, space, ……..Lonnie Schorer invited 6000 students, in 99 schools in every state in the US and from Canada, to take an imaginary trip to space – each asking 3 questions prior to launch. This resulted in 18,000 questions, answered by 83 experts. So, this is: An art book: there are 146 student illustrations in the book and another 1000+ on the CD/ROM accompanying the book, set to Hawkwind soundtracks. A science teachers textbook: packed with science information in 94 different categories. A reading literacy book: a children’s story, in large font, precedes each chapter – introducing younger children to the material in the chapter in simple everyday terms. A career guide: a mini-bio for each of the 83 experts is included so that kids can see that one doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to participate in the space effort. An adult book: The average adult does not know 85% of the information in the book. It would seem an investigative expedition, where children think about tomorrow, learn techniques for problem solving to reach a goal, explore the unknown and express their visions for the future is, as an educational exploration, as relevant as a land-based expedition. It is essentially the first private citizens guide to space – generated by children. These children are our future explorers, and we need to encourage and reach them now. Kids To Space Special Edition Author: Lonnie Jones Schorer Reading Level: Ages 9-12 Format: Paperback Pages: 384 Includes CD-ROM Publisher: Collector’s Guide Publishing (Apogee Books) Date: 2006 |

It was to be the first manned flight of America’s lunar spacecraft and it was to the be first manned launch of Wernher von Braun’s giant Saturn IB rocket. The prestigious task of commanding the first Apollo mission was given to CaptainWalter M. Schirra, a veteran of America’s Gemini and Mercury programs.
